PS4 owners will know it's Christmas time when Sony starts dropping deals in the weeks ahead, and amazingly, we've reached that time. Instead of its usual 12 Deals of Christmas, where a dozen games get generous discounts every two days, this year sees the introduction of several deals that will be swapped out for new ones each weekend leading up to the holiday. It starts today on the European PS Store.

This weekend's round of offers includes decent prices on recent titles, as well as some impressively big discounts on some older ones. The likes of Battlefield V, SoulCalibur VI, and Call of Cthulhu are all reduced by about a third. Elsewhere, some excellent games are going for very cheap -- BioShock: The Collection is great value at £8.99, and if you somehow don't own Bloodborne yet, it's here for £7.99. Perhaps the most enticing offer is the critically acclaimed Titanfall 2 for a measly £3.99.

Take a look at the sale through here, and keep in mind that new offers will replace these next weekend. See anything you like? Get some Christmas shopping done in the comments below.

Just grabbed Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition from the US PS Store some days back, so I'll be watching closely to see if there are similar deals like this on the US store in the lead up to Christmas.

Sigh, I just managed to resist adding anything to my backlog during the Black Friday deals, and now there's already more sales trying to tempt me to hand over my money

There's nothing this week that I'm particularly eager to get, but maybe next week will be different.

Also, I noticed in my wishlist that there's multiple games not in this offer that are still full price normally, but heavily discounted for anyone with PS+, such as Gravity Rush 2, Mafia 3, Nioh, and The Last Guardian. I'll pass on them since I don't have PS+, but they could be tempting for some people.

I see that Sparc is on sale. Does anyone know if this can played in a normal room (think English Victorian Terrace)? I read somewhere you need a large play area for this one. Anyone have any experience with Sparc?

Please pickup Titanfall 2! It's a great game with a good story and ridiculously fun multiplayer!Also BF V must be really desperate for sales xD I played a round yesterday, it was fun but kinda similar to BF1

@ShaiHulud A different opinion here, I'm also a single-player guy and loved the campaign of Titanfall 2. It's shorter than the campaign of Doom, yes, but both are great. It's really cool to control a titan, the gameplay is solid and it has an interesting narrative.

@ShaiHulud personally I thought the campaign for Titanfall 2 was one of the better ones in a long time! I paid full price for it and loved the game. At £3.99 it’s an absolute steal for the 6-8 hour story alone. It’s so much more than cod with robots!

@ShaiHulud I preferred the SP campaign in Titanfall 2 to Doom. I found Doom ran out of steam towards the end and got a bit samey. TF2 missions are more varied and THAT level is the best single level in a FPS I've played this gen.

Cthulhu and Uncharted are the only ones that interest me, and I already have those. I've played Dying Light already on another platform, and I'm not that keen to re-buy it yet. I enjoyed the gameplay mechanics but think it tries too much to have a dramatic or emotive story.

The PS Plus sale is more impressive, I bought 'the Council' package. There's also some interesting Indie games on sale, in yet another sale.

It'd be nice if the Titanfall 2 mp picks up a bit,deffo the sp alone is worth the asking price.Fantastic game.Nicer mechanics than cod.Should really of waited for a sale on Call of Cthulhu i guess as i am yet to dig into it..But its pretty great apparently,especially for avid Lovecraft fans like myself.Not much else to float my boat on this particular sale.lucky considering i am well skint right now..
